You seem to say that our "neocon" policy is essentially about gaining power and "might makes right". This is a vile slander. We are using our power to do good and restrain evil in the world.

The key neocons are misguided cult like devotees of Strauss similar to the followers of Ayn Rand.

Strauss was so traumatised by the failure of Weimar Republic that he developed an idea that American Republic will collapse unless discreetly guided by the elite of the "super-clever" university intellectuals and armchair warriors.

The Strauss thing is a ridiculous stretch and has been discounted.
